cross disability entity. The Board consists of 15 voting members

and in compliance with State law, a majority of the voting members are

persons with disabilities. Additional representatives are from

Centers for Independent Living, advocacy groups, other consumer or

independent living organizations and various state agencies that are

persons with disabilities throughout the State of Florida. This
